Caught my first African pompano, also a nice size shark. I don’t know my sharks, and we didn’t actually land it, I had my buddy cut the line for me. Many sharks we aren’t allowed to keep, and I don’t want them flopping around the boat anyway. The pompano was 25” and the shark was 5’-6’.
I caught the pompano and some amberjack on a slow pitch rod that had 30# line and a very light setup. I assume a shark or something big, took a fish I was reeling in and thankfully it broke the line. I switched over to a heavier setup and caught the shark on it.
